Is acne hereditary?

Acne does certainly have a hereditary factor. Acne is caused by a combination of genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, and to a lesser degree, factors such as stress, diet, and use of the wrong skincare and cosmetics. Acne lasts on average 8 eights and in many people, much longer than that if not treated properly. Studies have shown that nearly 50% of women in their 20s and 25% of women in their 30s still suffer from acne. Even for people who's acne is no longer active, the "healed" pimples can leave long-term post-acne marks and scars.

When should you start treating your acne?
If you have acne you should absolutely start treating it with effective topical medications as soon as you possible to prevent future breakouts and post-acne scarring.
